Caring
G stepped in Maun when an agency failed to pick me up, and what he did next truly made a huge difference. With the little time we had left, he went out of his way to organize the day so the mukuro canoe boats could still be explored, and he stayed caring, calm, and knowledgeable throughout. I was quite stressed, and his thoughtfulness and ability to accommodate me made everything feel manageable again. Even in the evening, when we said goodbye, he took it upon himself to check on the bus I needed to catch—then came back personally to drop me off and ensure I wouldn’t miss it, using his own time and expense to do so. Meeting G was humbling, and it’s the kind of kindness you don’t forget.

Amazing Life Changing Experience
34, travelling with my wife, 29, from the UK. We did 2 weeks in Kenya - Massai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli, and Diani Beach. I am someone who worries and overthinks, and we had not done a trip like this before. From start to finish Geofrey's communication and organisation was perfect. All of the details and logistics were covered, payment methods were secure and safe, and all of the booking details were provided for us to apply for the Kenyan E Visas etc. on time. Geofrey was very reassuring and patient with my questions!
The trip itself was incredible. Our guide and driver, Sammy, was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. He adapted the itinerary timings as we went along to suit how we were feeling, traffic, and success on the game drives. Sammy was extremely knowledgeable and experienced and we will miss spending time with him. So many times he found the best places for us to stop, and was especially good at preempting the animals' movements before many other safari vehicles. And yes - we saw the big 5 multiple times!
I would have no hesitation booking with Osnet again, and would wholeheartedly recommend them for your safari adventure!
If we did it again we would probably skip the beach and stay on safari longer, but we are glad we got to experience both. If you have an opportunity to do the hot air balloon in Massai Mara - do it!
Osnet absolutely get our seal of approval - a truly wonderful experience.

Glad i did it!
I joined a shared tour and was lucky to have the same driver and guide, James Mwaura, throughout the entire trip. He was incredibly fun, answered all of our questions, and made the experience even more enjoyable.
During the safaris, he always managed to find amazing spots where we could see all kinds of wildlife, especially the big cats. His knowledge and tracking skills were truly impressive.
The low-budget accommodation consisted of camp stays with covered tents, each equipped with a private bathroom and shower, which was much more comfortable than expected.
Overall, I can highly recommend both the tour and James as a driver and guide!

Amazing!
I hiked Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro and followed that with a safari over a 19-day period. Altezza provided an unbelievable experience with a great itinerary with exceptional staff. For the two hikes, everything was geared toward getting us to the top and keeping us safe with proper acclimatization, ample food, ensuring that we drank enough water, walking slowly and twice daily medical check-ups. All 14 members of our group successfully summitted Kilimanjaro. I was a sold client on Meru and successfully summitted that as well. My guide for the safari to Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangerie and Lake Natron was experienced (40 years of leading safaris) and led us to everything I wanted to see. All in all, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
Excellent value for money
Just returned from a safari holiday to South Africa. We chose Viva Safaris for two reasons. Good reviews and Patti Landau!! Her excellent communication skills in answering all the information we requested and her warm personality gave us the confidence to go ahead.
Viva safaris is a well organised operation with an outstanding team.
The guides, kitchen staff and drivers were a pleasure to interact with and made the holiday so much more fun and enjoyable.
The only downside was the shower fittings and maybe some suitable accommodation for couples at Tremisana. The rooms are quite cramped with a double and two single beds !!
We will never forget Tremisana and Pumusa and take this opportunity to thank each and every one at Viva Safaris ( Patti, Ed, Rocky, Smiley,Andy and kitchen team at Tremisana) ( George, Nellie, Sanzo and Zakiel at Pumusa) for doing an awesome job. Though we did not get to see lions and leopards we did see an amazing array of animals. An incredible experience on the whole!!
Hope to be back one day soon to do it all again and hopefully see two of the big five we missed out on !!!

Incredible Safari trip
Our guide Estomih went above and beyond for us on this trip. Not only did he thoughtfully stock the vehicle with everything we’d need, he also brought along a bilingual illustrated wildlife guidebook with both Chinese and English text.
The fridge was fully stocked with water, red and white wine, and beer.
He’s incredibly experienced and always gave his absolute best, letting us get much closer to the wildlife. I’d almost given up searching for cheetahs if it weren’t for his persistence — and in the end, we spotted two separate cheetah families!
This was such a wonderful, unforgettable safari. Thank you, Estomih, for making our trip so joyful.

Adventurous, out going, and lots of fun.
Our safari with Plex Africa Safari was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Tanzania. From the very beginning, everything was organized, professional, and stress-free.
A huge thank you to Ricardo and Aicha, who were incredible guides throughout the experience. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had the best safari possible. We booked a private safari, and they made the experience feel very personal by taking the time to search for every animal we hoped to see. They exceeded every expectation we had.
Communication was excellent from start to finish. The team kept us updated every step of the way, arrived on time for hotel pickup, and made the entire day run smoothly. The pricing was also very fair for the quality of the experience we received.
Even though we didn’t go in with many expectations, Ricardo and Aicha completely surpassed them. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to giving us an unforgettable experience made all the difference.
If you’re visiting Zanzibar or Tanzania and are considering a safari, we highly recommend Plex Safari. You won’t be disappointed!
